It throw an Check Engine Light? Not sure if it is OBDII port equipped at that year, but roll in and see if all your coils are ok, or if your computer is glitching out and throwing a code someone can pull up for you. Too many variables with those symptoms from fuel pump to O2 sensor burned out or disconnected.

It almost sounds like the cat is clogged. But Brakelate is right, a lot of variables with those symptoms.
